The currency of the spoof has become somewhat devalued of late, mostly due to those movies with "Movie" in the title that think simply referencing something is enough. This is spoofing done properly, with love, attention and, here's the key, loads and loads of gags. One of the early mockumentaries, The Rutles is also significant as a one-off convergence of the Beatles, Monty Python, Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band and Saturday Night Live. Creators Eric Idle and Neil Innes were pals of the Beatles, but that didn't inhibit their natural comic instincts, such as having their Yoko Ono substitute dress as a Nazi or getting John Belushi to lampoon litigious manager Allen Klein. The music is perhaps the main reason why this is considered a classic. Innes had the musical chops to create complex "Beatlesque" melodies and arrangements and a witty touch with lyrics that match the originals for empty profundity and wordplay: "You'd better think twice/At least once more." If you weren't in on the joke you'd probably think these were real Beatles tracks. This 30th-anniversary DVD includes more footage of Mick Jagger and Neil Simon's interviews, a gossip-laden commentary by Idle and documentaries on the music and filming.
